Experience the world. No passport necessary.

VAKANSE CANDLE CO. is a premium candle brand that specializes in high quality and incredibly unique fragrance experiences.

From the luxurious coconut-based wax to the crackling wooden wick, our candles not only smell incredible, they also look great, and sound quite beautiful as well. These 3 elements harmoniously combine, providing an ambient and multi-sensory experience that is absolutely out of this world!

Certainly a passion project of sorts. Born from and inspiried by a series of locales across the globe that have been incredibly transformative places to live, work, play, and grow.

This endeavor has been quite a few years in the making, and I couldn't be more excited to share these incredible places I've called home at various stages in my life with you in the form of these candles.

Thanks for stopping by.
